This application is a Continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 13/536,877, filed on Jun. 28, 2012, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/649,140, filed on May 18, 2012. The contents of the above-referenced matters are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The disclosure relates to packages and methods of manufacturing the packages, and more particularly to packages with metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitors and methods of manufacturing the same.

BACKGROUND

Radio frequency (RF) and mixed-signal integrated circuits employ capacitor elements for decoupling, filtering, oscillating, etc. Metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor structure has been the most popular capacitor in analog, mixed-signal and RF devices, due to an advantage that metal provides depletion-free, high-conductance electrodes suitable for high-speed applications at low cost. The MIM capacitor structure has an advantage of flexibility in inserting it between two intermediate metal levels. For increasingly complex mixed-signal and RF applications, the MIM capacitor area is limited by chip size parameters.

In some embodiments, the electrical circuitry includes electrical devices formed on the substrate 10 having one or more dielectric layers overlying the electrical devices. Metal layers may be formed between dielectric layers to route electrical signals between the electrical devices. Electrical devices may also be formed in one or more dielectric layers.

Furthermore, a height or thickness of the chip 100 may be reduced to a selected height through the grinding process. This results in a reconstructed wafer 400 that includes first areas I (also referred to herein as chip areas I) and second areas II (also referred to herein as fan-out areas II).
